Question

What is the output of the following code? String word = "Test3"; char c = 'm'; if (c > 'd' || word.charAt(1) == 'e') if (c < 'g') System.out.println("red"); else System.out.println("blue"); System.out.println("green");

Answer 1

The output of the given code is 'blue' followed by 'green' because of how the conditional statements are evaluated.

Step-by-step explanation:

The code provided checks the value of a character c and the character at index 1 in the String word. The output is determined by a series of conditional statements.

First, it checks if c is greater than 'd' or if the second character in the word is 'e' which is true because 'm' is greater than 'd'. It then checks if c is less than 'g'. As 'm' is not less than 'g', the output of the first conditional statement will not be 'red' but 'blue'.

After executing the nested if-else statement, the code prints 'green' because there are no conditions attached to printing 'green'. This action always occurs after executing the preceding if-else statement.

Therefore, the final output on the console will be:

blue
green
